olden time people. I daresay the loss of our
     sacred sexual temples grieves the heart of Carol Queen threefold.
     
    Whoredom has existed, in various guises, for thousands and thousands of years. A main
     artery of the Goddess’s lifeforce, it is too powerful to annihilate.
    Whoredom has been successfully vilified.
    Whoredom is presently accepted as a very, very bad thing, while its history debases
     this idea beyond all reckoning.
    Sound like any old word that is the title to a book you’ve been reading lately?
    In our present mode of collective consciousness, a Whore is simply a person who exchanges
     sex for financial resources.
    I accept this to be true, but only if it’s recognized as one part of a much broader cultural-financial order that women participate in for survival.
     There is no difference between a woman who marries a very powerful man because it
     is the only way she is guaranteed a “place” in society, and a streetwalker who’s never
     known the illusion of a “guarantee.”
    Some women opt to be Whores because procuring semen from men’s bodies is a bona fide
     way to make a living in a society where we are viewed as highly expendable citizens.
    Ms. Streetwalker exchanges womanly wiles for subsistence.
    Some women—such as the late Princess Diana, who once referred to herself as the highest
     paid prostitute in the world—don’t actually opt to be Whores, but realize nonetheless that that is exactly what we are.
    Ms. Powerwife exchanges womanly wiles for a fancy house in the hills.
    In this way of thinking, the issue is class rather than Whoredom.
    Hugh Grant and Eddie Murphy could lecture on this subject.
     
    Sacred Whore temples flourished in ancient India, the Middle East, Africa, Europe,
     the Americas and Asia. The word “whore” was a title, used in much the way our word
     “reverend” is employed today. “Whore” is associated with many words including hus-band,
     hussy, puta (Spanish for “whore”—in Vedic, puta means “pure” or “holy”), ghazye (Egyptian), devadasi (Sanskrit), horae (Greek) and hor (Hebrew). Whore-priestesses were revered because they taught “a combination of mother-love,
     tenderness, comfort, mystical enlightenment and sex.” (Walker, 1983, 820)
    Mary Magdalene was a Whore and Jesus dug her because she taught him the most sacred
     thing a man can ever hope to learn in his lifetime: how to fuck. Stud that he was,
     Jesus knew to humble himself to this woman.
    I imagine the sex was spectacular.
    Let’s interpret the notion of Jesus visiting a Whore in a cuntlovin’ way. Let’s pretend
     Jesus and his Apostle frat brothers didn’t visit Mary Magdalene after a hard night
     tossing off forty-ouncers and tipping cows in the holy land.
    From all the things I’ve heard about Jesus, he sounds like a pretty decent sort. He
     looks nice in most of his pictures. You can tell Adolph Hitler and George Washington were dickheads just by looking at them. Looking
     at Jesus, he seems cool. By and large, Jesus evidently had a lot of love and compassion
     swimming around his heart. He had a pretty huge impact in certain parts of the world,
     yet left it when he was only thirty-two. You gotta figure Jesus didn’t waste a lot
     of time dinking around. Even if he did dink around, he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who’d take an impersonal toss in
     the hay for a budgeted degree of arousal.
    I seriously doubt Jesus perceived Mary Magdalene as anything less than an esteemed
     Teacher. In Jesus’ time, Whores were still prophets of sexual power. They taught people
     how the physical body is a conduit of energy. If Jesus was able to manifest the love
     in his heart in all the physical actions the bible alleges, Mary Magdalene was certainly
     one of the people in his life responsible for helping him figure out how to do it.
     
    Though Whores were integral and respected in many times and places, the fear and/or
     awe of female sexuality certainly rivals Whoredom
